I would tell her to stay away for a while until you get your MMR, Also i would tell her that a kid dead of measles in America the other day and it can happen here too.

I cant understand how these kids are getting measles these days, there is a jab that stops them getting it and they dont choose to take it to stop there child getting ill.

Did your friends boy not have the jab yet or is he too young too?

i prob wouldn't tell your friend about the kid that died of measles. might scare her.

my daugther didn't have the MMR until we had reaserched everything ,and made sure we had made the correct choice. we were gonna give her the 3 single jabs. but these come from countries that don't have to conform to the standards british jabs do , so they could contain stuff that wasn't any good. but at end of day , we spent 2 years researching it. and now when my son is 18 months he will have it when he due as all the research is done. It is a personal choice which u choose to do. We felt we had to look at the longer term implications as well. Of course i want the best fr my children and this is why we took nearly 2 years to get all the facts. we started researching MMR just after my daugther was born

If you had the MMR jab it stopped the child getting it, so therefore it is more likely that he had chicken pox which is ok and probably better to let her get them.

Jcr, it is a responsible thing to do to research the jab, I did that too and realised it was probably better to have that than the 3 single jabs, also found it safer to have the jabs than let them get mumps measles or rubella, they are awful diseases and would cause more pain than a little jab in the leg.
